BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted September 22, 2015 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted September 22, 2015 Well, contest is over guys. Last time two reels will ever be given away here. Quote
Phu Man Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I didn't mean to offend you, if I did, Glenn. I just wanted to spread the wealth if it was my option. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 Don't feel like that Glenn I just want to share. I feel bad taking two reels. If I won. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 22, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 22, 2015 You can always win both reels then give them to someone you know that needs one if you don't need both. Or you can always not enter and let someone who does want them win them. 1 Quote
Super User senile1 Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 Well, contest is over guys. Last time two reels will ever be given away here. Is raising it to three or more an option? 2 Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 Wow! Ok guys. I guess you don't want to win $200. You'd rather win $100. Noted. I will never run another contest worth more than $100. You have great Giveaways,Dont give up yet Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 I feel ashamed to take both reels. Giveaway two prizes one to the winner and one to the last place entry. Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 3.11 lbs isn't 3 lbs 11 oz unless the scale is set to lbs & ounces. 3.11 = 3 lbs 2 oz. 3 lbs 11 oz = 3.60 lbs Not complaining, just need clarification. Tom 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 i wouldn't take their statements the wrong way Glenn.... they came off as rather humble offerings to me, rather than a complaint of any nature.... 5 Quote

Tom tom, pretty sure that scale reads in lbs/ounces... i thought the same thing at first. Quote
Starchalopakis Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I feel ashamed to take both reels. Yes........We get it. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 tom, pretty sure that scale reads in lbs/ounces... i thought the same thing at first.Looks like a Berkley Lip Grip scale that reads in digital pounds or KG, not lbs/oz, could be wrong, haven't seen a digital fish scale that reads in lbs/oz.Tom Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 22, 2015 Super User Posted September 22, 2015 I was all over the high 3's. Under 4lbs. I lost its ok. I think I was at 3/12, I knew it was under 4lbs. Thanks for the chance it was fun 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted September 23, 2015 Super User Posted September 23, 2015 Looks like a Berkley Lip Grip scale that reads in digital pounds or KG, not lbs/oz, could be wrong, haven't seen a digital fish scale that reads in lbs/oz. Tom mine does. it has both the lbs oz option and the decimal option. you just have to click the button an extra time to get to the lbs oz setting Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted September 23, 2015 Super User Posted September 23, 2015 yeah i have a slightly different Berkley digital scale, but i just double checked and mine reads in lbs/oz as well Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 23, 2015 Super User Posted September 23, 2015 mine does. it has both the lbs oz option and the decimal option. you just have to click the button an extra time to get to the lbs oz settingDoes it display 3.11 as 3 lbs 11 oz? Or does it display 3 lbs 11 oz?Thank you for the response. This isn't isn't sour grapes, just like clarification. Tom Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted September 23, 2015 Super User Posted September 23, 2015 mine has the lbs and oz markers showing when on that setting. The other just has the decimal. this is the scale i have.not a grip style but digital nonetheless Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 23, 2015 Super User Posted September 23, 2015 mine has the lbs and oz markers showing when on that setting. The other just has the decimal. this is the scale i have.not a grip style but digital nonetheless Thank you, if the display shows 3.11 I assume it's lbs in decimal, if the display doesn't display a decimal point and displays lbs/oz above the display it's in lbs/ oz. it is what it is!

Super User buzzed bait Posted September 23, 2015 Super User Posted September 23, 2015 Does it display 3.11 as 3 lbs 11 oz? Or does it display 3 lbs 11 oz? Thank you for the response. This isn't isn't sour grapes, just like clarification. Tom yeah mine displays it as Xlb Xoz the decimal on glenn's scale is what threw me off as well, but from the online pics i see of that scale, it looks like it displays the decimal even when reading lb/oz like you, not sour grapes, but i see people get that wrong A LOT. as in saying their fish was 5.2 lbs vs 5lb 2oz or vice versa Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted September 23, 2015 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted September 23, 2015 ^^ This ^^ It displays pounds and ounces, despite the decimal. Quote
GetJigginWithIt Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I can never understand why anybody would complain about getting something for free. Perfectly shows the entitlement mentality of society today. Quote
Hurricane Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I would of loved to have won both reels. . I would of gave my kids my current baitcasters and took those.. Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted September 24, 2015 Super User Posted September 24, 2015 Well you never can have too much fishing stuff,Ask my wife that battle has been going on for 20 years. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted September 24, 2015 Super User Posted September 24, 2015 I can never understand why anybody would complain about getting something for free. Perfectly shows the entitlement mentality of society today ? I think Buzzed was correct earlier. I didn't read any posts complaining about anything. I think there was a genuine generosity suggesting 'if I win, please share my good fortune'. However, even had there been a complaint as you describe, I can't think of a context that would bolster your opinion on society. 4 Quote
